<p>We can’t even take joy in Ohio State getting a comeuppance. </p> <p id="yEHavr">Counting the College football playoff, there are 10 Big Ten bowl tie-ins for 14 teams. It is starting to look as if the Big Ten won’t have enough teams for all of them. Rutgers needs only one more loss to be eliminated. Illinois and Michigan State (of all teams!) need two. Purdue and Indiana would be next as each has four losses, and since they play each other still there is another loss to be added. </p>
<p id="wkpFOV">I say this because there is at least a small hope that Purdue can still reach a bowl game. It would take a home upset of Penn State, Northwestern, or Wisconsin plus road wins over Minnesota and Indiana, but after seeing Purdue at least play Nebraska tough on Saturday there is a small measure of hope, however unlikely that hope may be. I know it is more likely that Purdue only wins one more game at most, but at least we can see that Gerad Parker has them playing hard and with some passion. </p>
<p id="NPehYD"><strong>Nebraska 27, Purdue 14</strong></p>
<p id="yjo9L9">The Boilers led 14-10 at halftime and was the better team before halftime defensive adjustments kept Purdue’s offense under wraps. From there the Cornhuskers wore Purdue down to <a href="http://www.cornnation.com/2016/10/22/13367622/nebraska-huskers-football-purdue-boilermakers-game-recap">get the hard-earned win</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="Rhliig">Unlike last year, there was a reason why Nebraska stopped running the ball: Nebraska’s beat-up offensive line simply couldn’t create any holes to run through. That’s downright alarming, considering that Purdue was ranked 124th nationally in rush defense. Purdue was giving up 264 yards each game; Nebraska could only rush for 157. 74 of that came in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p id="ouQyG7">Needless to say, this was not a good performance for the Big Red. That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with being 7-0; last year proved that Husker fans should appreciate each and every win. But performances like this one won’t work the next few weeks.</p>
</blockquote>
<p id="OHJq2f">Our friends at Boiled Sports are also leading the <a href="http://www.boiledsports.com/posts/2016-purdue-nebraska-football-moral-victory">moral victory parade</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="d7SzZ7">Purdue, for just one half, was fun to watch again. Even though our Boilers lost by 13 points (COVERED THE SPREAD THO), they made our late Saturday afternoon fun again. For a half, our Purdue Boilermakers thoroughly outplayed a top ten team on the road, complete with linebackers making solid tackles and a Replogle-less pass rush bugging Armstrong and receivers catching balls and stuff. They played with a freedom unseen so far this season, a direct result of the midseason coaching change.</p>
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1477314543946_964">It was awesome. It was competitive. It was…fun.</p>
</blockquote>
<p id="X9DuD5"><strong>Penn State 24, Ohio State 21</strong></p>
<p id="Exd9i5">Purdue’s next opponent upset the No. 2 team in the country, who had won 20 straight road games, but blew a 21-7 fourth quarter lead. Normally I would be laughing at Ohio state, but this is Penn state, so they were playing the weepy sonata music of “this program has suffered so much and needed this”, <a href="http://www.blackshoediaries.com/2016/10/23/13368020/a-therapeutic-and-historic-victory-penn-state-24-osu-21">which is pretty disgusting</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="YNyGa9">Many in the stands and at home got emotional following the victory. On the streets of State College fans exchanged hugs and kisses with strangers as though a war had been won, and in some ways it had. After five of the toughest years in Penn State football history, for the fans and the team, a sense of relief blankets the community. </p>
<p id="33rMYS">How many times have the team and coach Franklin been asked to answer for not being as successful as their Big Ten rivals while ignoring the unfair challenges that they face that others do not? Those days are now behind us. </p>
</blockquote>
<p id="1eX7yr">I really, really want to pull off the upset this week. For Ohio State, the game <a href="http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2016/10/23/13288060/ohio-state-penn-state-upset-power-rankings-urban-meyer-james-franklin">was lost on Special Teams</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="9rgJQv">Well, if you’re going to blow a game, you might as well do it like Ohio State did, eh? Following a Penn State safety early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes led 21-7. Another touchdown—hell, even a field goal to push the Nittany Lions’ deficit to three scores—would have iced the game and given the visitors their third super-impressive road triumph of 2016.</p>
<p id="BRNe8b">Alas, Ohio State’s next five drives happened...</p>
<p id="j9JTrG">Punt. Punt. Punt. Blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. Turnover on downs.</p>
<p id="XJrtr2">It gets worse: Penn State won despite its starting quarterback (Trace McSorley) completing 35 percent of his attempts and its best player (Saquon Barkley) receiving only 12 touches.</p>
</blockquote>
<p id="8d9qi6"><strong>Michigan 41, Illinois 8</strong></p>
<p id="wWhuIv">I assume that the only reason Illinois scored is <a href="http://www.maizenbrew.com/football/2016/10/22/13368824/takeaways-from-michigan-41-8-victory-over-illinois-wilton-speight-karan-higdon-jabrill-peppers">because Michigan was bored</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="HUSUa3">What more is there to say about this group?</p>
<p id="AnBaok">They continue to beat up on inferior teams with their smothering style of play and they did not allow a completed pass until the third quarter. There were a few chunk yardage plays allowed, but they largely kept it going this week.</p>
</blockquote>
<p id="RJGrkx">For Illinois, the wait for a Lovie Smith rebuild continues, but at least they got to see Jeff George Jr.<a href="http://www.thechampaignroom.com/2016/10/23/13372738/lovie-smith-postgame-press-conference-illinois-fighting-illini-vs-michigan-wolverines"> make his debut</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="xjqwN1">Junior WR <strong>Malik</strong> <strong>Turner</strong> caught a 43-yard pass in the third quarter and a 43-yard TD in the fourth quarter, the first completion of <strong>Jeff George Jr.</strong>'s career. Turner entered the game with 39.2-percent of Illinois' receiving yards, the second highest percentage among Power 5 players, and had 90.5-percent vs. Michigan.</p></blockquote>
<p id="VFcMFU"><strong>Wisconsin 17, Iowa 9</strong></p>
<p id="FrPATC">This was the most B1G game of the week. Wisconsin just sat on <a href="http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2016/10/22/13366962/wisconsin-iowa-5-things-corey-clement-bart-houston-big-ten-standings">Iowa’s head for 3.5 hours</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="bp78r4">Iowa was limited on offense without star wide receiver Matt VandeBerg, and tight end George Kittle may not have been 100 percent as well, but Wisconsin’s defense held a rushing attack that came in averaging 180 yards per game to 83. That’s the fourth time the Badgers have held opponents under 100 yards on the ground this season.</p></blockquote>
<p id="yAZMwh">Kirk Ferentz settled for a field goal with his team trailing by 8 late at home. That’s all you <a href="http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2016/10/23/13371636/the-day-after-wisconsin-iowa-football-bhgp">need to know about their game</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="6zsR7a">Ya know, it’s not so much that Iowa lost to Wisconsin, yesterday. I think that was relatively expected. But as an entertainment product, Iowa is approaching “Battlefield Earth” status. Iowa’s plot doesn’t make sense, unless it’s executed to absolute perfection and you have the right characters in the right places. I think many Hawkeyes fans could have lived with the result yesterday if things weren’t so damn predictable. Punting on 4th and 1 from inside Wisconsin’s 45, going for the field goal with under 6 minutes left, abandoning the only offensive attack that was working (hurry-up). None of those things surprised us at all and that’s what makes yesterday’s loss so maddening.</p></blockquote>
<p id="ICrbjP"><strong> Minnesota 34, Rutgers 32 </strong></p>
<p id="vPAtGO">Minnesota needed a late field goal to beat Rutgers. No, <a href="http://www.thedailygopher.com/2016/10/22/13367254/minnesota-football-minnesota-beats-rutgers-34-32">that is not one big typo</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="3XRsDh">In all facets of the game, the Gophers turned in their worst performances of the seasons. The offense was stagnant for much of the game. Mitch Leidner made multiple poor decisions and throws. While the interception had as much to do with his receivers running into each other as a poor throw, the senior quarterback overthrew and underthrew multiple receivers throughout the game.</p></blockquote>
<p id="oee0lw">For Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights were actually impressive in their fortitude to <a href="http://www.onthebanks.com/2016/10/23/13368016/takeaways-from-rutgers-scarlet-knights-34-32-loss-to-minnesota-chris-ash-gio-rescigno-justin-goodwin">make a nice comeback</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="Zx6nP0">Yes, he turned the ball over 3 times, but Gio Rescigno did plenty good to prove he is the best QB for this team and he will not have to look over his shoulder when out there. He threw for 3 TDs and displayed athleticism previously unknown the QB position at Rutgers. He was running all over MInnesota in the first half, but suffered what was described as a hamstring injury and was limited running the ball the rest of the game. He was still able to move the offense with half of his game absent. The most impressive thing about Rescigno is he made plays for his wide receivers. Previously, Rutgers could not make tough throws that allow a receiver make a play even if they are covered. Rescigno made throws that were good enough to be completions even if the receivers didn’t get open. He made so many throws yesterday that other QBs on the roster are physically incapable of making. Hopefully he heals up during the bye week and is ready to go for Indiana.</p></blockquote>
<p id="Oh4AKn"><strong>Northwestern 24, Indiana 14</strong></p>
<p id="IXwAD8">Northwestern went up 24-3 at halftime and pretty much sat on cruise control for the afternoon. The once powerful Indiana offense <a href="http://www.insidenu.com/2016/10/22/13367132/northwestern-wildcats-indiana-hoosiers-northwestern-offense-stats-clayton-thorson-justin-jackson">was completely held in check</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="iQk4t0">Five weeks ago, Northwestern got its first victory of the season against Duke, scoring 24 points and gaining 406 total yards.</p>
<p id="IAgru4">On Saturday, Northwestern got its fourth victory of the season against Indiana, scoring 24 points and gaining 408 total yards. </p>
<p id="lroM7I">After Duke, the offensive output was remembered as one of the best in recent memory, as Thorson hit multiple receivers for deep touchdowns. Despite some inefficiency, the Wildcats were finally hinting at being a dual-threat offense. After Indiana, it’s still a positive offensive showing, except this time with a bit of staleness in the air. </p>
</blockquote>
<p id="xccWpS">For Indiana, Richard Lagow <a href="http://www.crimsonquarry.com/2016/10/22/13367516/northwestern-24-indiana-14-box-score-stats-drive-chart">is officially struggling</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p id="n2yyEj">The completions / attempts numbers are gaudy, but the tape won’t be kind to Lagow’s performance today. Northwestern’s already less-than-good secondary was ripe for the taking after injuries, and Lagow couldn’t take advantage. Nick Westbrook, Luke Timian, and Ricky Jones were able to shake coverage all day long on deep routes, but the JUCO transfer quarterback continually underthrew his recievers -- leaving ample opportunity for Northwestern’s already-beaten defensive backs to get back into the play. Such underthrows led to both interceptions, on passes that could’ve been touchdowns if recievers had been hit in stride.</p></blockquote>
<p id="5HqfNs"><strong>Maryland 28, Michigan State 17</strong></p>
<p id="Uo8C3D">The Terrapins are now a win <a href="http://www.testudotimes.com/maryland-terps-football/2016/10/22/13368612/michigan-state-final-score-recap-results-stats-game">from being bowl eligible</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="cV29v8">Maryland football snapped its two-game losing streak with a 28-17 victory over Michigan State on Saturday night in College Park. </p>
<p id="JSXmia">The win brings the Terps to 5-2, only one victory shy of bowl eligibility. This was much-needed, as Maryland still has its three-game stretch against top-10 opponents looming in a couple weeks. The team’s first crack at the magical sixth win will come next week at Indiana. If they don’t get it there, a Thanksgiving-weekend home game against Rutgers is their next-best shot.</p>
</blockquote>
<p id="Dz8kwN">Michigan State is also a complete mess now on a 5-game losing streak. The Only Colors didn’t even do a postgame wrap. </p>

<p>A surprisingly competitive loss has Purdue fans more upbeat. </p> <p>Purdue lost by 14 to Iowa and it didn't feel even remotely that close. The Boilers lost by 13 at Nebraska and it felt much closer. It is hard to describe, but there was a major difference this week in the team we saw. You can see it reflected in this week's In Tweets:</p>

<p>Game 1 of the post Hazell Era begins today!</p> <p>Let's have some fun today!</p>
<p>No one really expects much of this Purdue team now, playing under an interim coach in his first game against a top 10 team on the road. We have nothing to lose. We might as well play fast and loose, open things up, run a ton of trick plays, and everything else. Let's see what happens.</p>

<p>I had an opportunity to shoot a few emails back and forth with Erin Sorensen of Hail Varsity. She gave an insight on Pelini and what to expect tomorrow. </p> <p id="nBcgsh">Erin Sorensen from Hail Varsity reached out to H&R to get a few questions answered over our match-up this Saturday. You can see her post here: <a href="https://hailvarsity.com/s/260/smart-solid-run-game-key-to-nebraska-success">https://hailvarsity.com/s/260/smart-solid-run-game-key-to-nebraska-success</a>. I really think Erin wanted to ensure all the Cornhusker fans that they need to R-E-L-A-X as they really have nothing to worry about with us. But, of course, I had some questions of my own. Mainly circulating around our boy Bo Pelini, who we know from Juan’s post earlier this week has genuine interest in come to West Lafayette for some reason. Here is our Q & A, enjoy!</p>
<p id="s19U2o"></p>
<p id="RiDDAK"><strong>1. What are you expecting Saturday in Lincoln?</strong></p>
<p id="z4DYi5">I expect to see Tommy Armstrong Jr. play this year. That is a major improvement over this matchup in 2015, where a new staff was forced to start Ryker Fyfe who had very little experience. It was rough. As for 2016, Nebraska's offensive line is pretty beat up with injuries so that could be an area for Purdue to target. But I do think Nebraska has the overall advantage. I expect to see a more solid defensive performance from the Blackshirts (led by #LockdownU) and a fired up Armstrong. It won't be perfect for Nebraska (it never is) but the Huskers will get the win this time, advancing to 7-0 on the season.</p>
<p id="1pmjNF"><strong>2. Do you believe this Nebraska team is a top 10 team, or is it the lack of an early test in the first half of the season?</strong></p>
<p id="8zIwZv">I believe the Huskers are a top 10 team because the polls say so (and the legitimacy/importance of the non-playoff polls is an entirely different discussion). It could be argued that Nebraska hasn't played any tough tests, but that will be put to rest come Wisconsin and Ohio State. We'll know exactly where the Huskers should be in the rankings by the end of those two weeks. For now, Nebraska fans can enjoy being undefeated and the top 10 ranking that has come with it.</p>
<p id="SmOw03"><strong>3. What is your opinion on your old ball coach, Bo Pelini?</strong></p>
<p id="7fh9su">I never personally had a problem with Pelini. In fact, I have two life-size cutouts of the coach courtesy of the BWW Citrus Bowl (I'm not joking). As for him as a coach, he just wasn't the right fit at Nebraska. Husker fans want a very specific coach and seeing as Tom Osborne is retired, they seek someone very similar. Pelini? Well, he just wasn't that guy. Plus, he wasn't a big recruiting fan which created plenty of issues. He also perpetuated this 'us against the world' mentality which didn't sit well with the fans who just want to be included.</p>
<p id="6KXQi9">Overall, I wish Pelini the best. He's not a terrible person. He just wasn't mean to be Nebraska's head coach.</p>
<p id="RdXsd0"><strong>4. Do you think he could be a fit in West Lafayette?</strong></p>
<p id="d7eLcW">Maybe? I've seen plenty of arguments for and against that situation to play out. I think recruiting could once again prove challenging for him in West Lafayette. And I think Purdue fans (and the athletic department) would need to have very clear expectations from him. Set the bar high, but maybe not too high. It just depends on what Purdue wants in its next head coach. Is it winning the Big Ten title every year? He might not be your guy then.</p>
<p id="l2C5us"><strong>5. Pelini gets a bad wrap for his recruiting but do you think that was because he didn't consistently put Nebraska into the national conversation like they wanted to be?</strong></p>
<p id="W6a4Rr">Yes, but he also just doesn't love to recruit. It's not his favorite thing in the world, which is fine. However, if you're not going to be the big recruiting guy, you better find people around you who can be. I think Pelini's downfalls at Nebraska were a combination of things. It was recruiting, personality and lack of championships. Over time, it just wasn't what Nebraska wanted anymore and that's how the cookie crumbles.</p>
<p id="WzAKaf">Thanks again, Erin! </p>

<p>We’re expecting to lose, but we’re still somehow upbeat. </p> <p id="yo8fNe">For the first time in forever there is a small bit of optimism around here. Sure, we don’t expect to win tomorrow, but with Hazell gone and the Board of Trustees at least saying the right things when it comes to supporting the football program we have at least a glimmer of hope. I think the healing begins this week with a loss, but a more competitive loss. Here are the standings:</p>
<p id="Ysjcmc"><strong>Juan: </strong>5-1</p>
<p id="YynVvI"><strong>Casey: </strong>4-2</p>
<p id="NnTnwv"><strong>T-Mill:</strong> 3-3</p>
<p id="aBxiL7"><strong>Ledman: </strong>3-3</p>
<p id="SwIfSH"><strong>Kyle: </strong>3-3</p>
<p id="AzBqdC"><strong>Holmes:</strong> 3-3</p>
<p id="6Ml5Vo"><strong>Jack:</strong> 3-3</p>
<p id="G7sFAR"><strong>Rob: </strong>3-3</p>
<p id="EQ4ClA"><strong>Drew: </strong>2-4</p>
<p id="QYlQxD">And on to the picks:</p>
<p id="NpTbBn"><strong>Rob St. Claire</strong></p>
<p id="DmRBYy">Very little optimism here. <strong>Nebraska 41, Purdue 13</strong></p>
<p id="6zlCGh"><strong>Juan Crespo</strong></p>
<p id="MT3Ww8">If Gerad Parker could pick his opponent for his first game as Purdue's interim coach (using only what's on Purdue's remaining schedule), this would probably be his penultimate pick (with Wisconsin being his last choice). It'll be interesting to see what he does, I have a feeling the players will rally around him, but Nebraska is a very good team looking for revenge after getting embarrassed in West Lafayette last year. <strong>Purdue 21, Nebraska 38</strong></p>
<p id="jEM7V5"><strong>Kyle Holderfield</strong></p>
<p id="FL2KEY">I'm going to say it won't be close. Parker seems motivated, but also seems overwhelmed. I'll take the top 10 team in this one. R.I.P. Hazell <strong>Nebraska 41, Purdue 10</strong></p>
<p id="uGrQfJ"><strong>Andrew Ledman</strong></p>
<p id="p05knC">It's a whole new day for Purdue football on Saturday. The first game of the post Hazell era. May we never speak of those dark times again! Of course, it's not all that easy. Getting rid of Hazell doesn't change the problems on offense or defense, it doesn't suddenly help our injured players get back on the field, and it doesn't make Nebraska a worse team. Everything I have read and seen regarding Coach Parker gives me a little bit of hope that things could improve ever so slightly. Even if that's the case though I don't see Purdue taking Nebraska out two years in a row. Let's hope the players can show some spirit, some fight, and we can perhaps see what the next coach will have to work with during this next 6 games. <strong>Nebraska 49, Purdue 20</strong></p>
<p id="bjZ4zA"><strong>Jack Walker</strong></p>
<p id="l3VCxE">Words cannot adequately express my elation over the coaching change. However, Purdue has no run defense. The Boilers will play better, but Nebraska has Newby, Ozigbo and Armstrong running with the rock, and the game is in Nebraska. <strong>Nebraska 45, Purdue 21</strong></p>
<p id="xPcyWA"><strong>Andrew Holmes</strong></p>
<p id="RKADLp">Because fuck it, why not? <strong>Purdue 28, Nebraska 27</strong></p>
<p id="TniQ8x"><strong>Casey Bartley </strong></p>
<p id="k9lz32">Because the damage has already been done this year. <strong>Nebraska 55, Purdue 16</strong></p>
<p id="XoYTMA"><strong>T-Mill:</strong></p>
<p id="P78d3T">Last season was dismal except for a gray Halloween afternoon in West Lafayette when Ryker Fyfe had the worst game I have ever seen from a college quarterback. Purdue won 55-45 over the Cornhuskers, but it wasn’t that Shoop had an offensive genius day or anything. The Cornhuskers handed Purdue five turnovers and Purdue took full advantage. Now Purdue heads to Lincoln for only the second time ever and they have an interim coach too. Reportedly, the mood is different and Gerad Parker is going to let it all hang out because we’re a team with nothing to lose. That might help, as will a Nebraska team that has let all three Big Ten opponents hang around. Purdue has also alternated good performances with absolute turd performances this year, and after last week’s terrible first half it is due for a good one. I am not expecting a win, but I think Purdue at least plays inside the 24 point spread. Unfortunately, Nebraska can still run all day. <strong>Nebraska 41, Purdue 24</strong></p>
<p id="pUeYug"><strong>Drew Schneider</strong></p>
<p id="y19EAk">Alcohol...yes, more please....no, just keep em' coming until my head hits the table. <strong>Nebraska 31, Purdue 14</strong></p>

<p>Yeah, there is football Saturday, but THE CUBS COULD MAKE THE WORLD SERIES!!!!</p> <p id="to8CIr">All 14 teams in the Big Ten are in action this week. Our Boilers are headed to one of the highest ranked teams in the country with the least experienced head coach, and that is expected to be an upgrade over the previous situation. I admit, I will be distracted, however. Saturday night the Cubs will be 9 innings away from reaching the World Series. They have been in that position only twice in my lifetime and they are 0-6 in that situation, blowing a 2-0 lead in 1984 and a 3-1 lead in 2003. </p>
<p id="c6SOPJ">Honestly, I would trade an unmerciful blowout at the hands of Nebraska for a Cubs win over Kershaw. This Purdue season is going nowhere, and it is not every year the Cubs can go to the World Series. </p>
<p id="YhfHLO">Let’s take a look at this week’s games:</p>
<p id="DiWJZg"><strong>Rutgers (2-5, 0-4) at Minnesota (4-2, 1-2) Noon, ESPNU</strong></p>
<p id="0OcakU"><a href="http://www.onthebanks.com/2016/10/21/13356104/rutgers-minnesota-game-preview-tracy-claeys-chris-ash-mitch-leidner-giovanni-rescigno-robert-martin"><strong>On the Banks Preview</strong></a></p>

<p id="jT68sP">Last year it was a memorable double cripplefight in basketball between these two. In football it appears that the Gophers have a pretty significant advantage. The Gophers will be without Mitch Leidner, but they can still run the ball well and that is what they should do. Rutgers is almost as bad against the run as Purdue is. Minnesota will run until it gets tired. <strong>Minnesota 42, Rutgers 10</strong></p>
<p id="pPRW2Z"><strong>Wisconsin (4-2, 1-2) at Iowa (5-2, 3-1) Noon, ESPN</strong></p>
<p id="XxjL8k"><a href="http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2016/10/20/13347950/wisconsin-iowa-preview-2016-kirk-ferentz-akrum-wadley-cj-beathard"><strong>Bucky’s 5</strong></a><a href="http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2016/10/20/13347950/wisconsin-iowa-preview-2016-kirk-ferentz-akrum-wadley-cj-beathard"><sup><strong>th</strong></sup></a><a href="http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2016/10/20/13347950/wisconsin-iowa-preview-2016-kirk-ferentz-akrum-wadley-cj-beathard"><strong> Quarter Preview</strong></a></p>

<p id="bZka1N">Iowa has had a good week. They got a win over their Most Hated Rivals, got a coach fired, and announced an impressive stadium renovation. Now they come home for the 437<sup>th</sup> trophy game as Wisconsin rolls into town. The Badgers have played a ridiculously hard schedule to this point and still have to get past Iowa and Nebraska in the West. I think they suffer a letdown after taking Ohio State to the brink. <strong>Iowa 24, Wisconsin 23</strong></p>
<p id="GbV5xV"><strong>Indiana (3-3, 1-2) at Northwestern (3-3, 2-1) Noon, BTN</strong></p>
<p id="5Zi1ox"><a href="http://www.crimsonquarry.com/2016/10/19/13322122/indiana-at-northwestern-game-preview-hoosiers-head-to-wildcats"><strong>Crimson Quarry Preview</strong></a></p>

<p id="MTy4W0">What do we know about Indiana? Their supposed breakthrough win over Michigan State has proven to be not as great because the Spartans are a mess right now. They continue to play good teams tough, but come up just short. Now they get a Northwestern team that is finally playing like we expected them to play. This could be one of the best games of the day and one Indiana needs for bowl eligibility. <strong>Indiana 31, Northwestern 21</strong></p>
<p id="d9RDGK"><strong>Illinois (2-4, 1-2) at Michigan (6-0, 3-0) 3:30pm, BTN</strong></p>
<p id="tpSpAX"><a href="http://www.thechampaignroom.com/2016/10/20/13352652/illinois-vs-michigan-2016-football-game-preview"><strong>The Champaign Room Preview</strong></a></p>

<p id="vOuz3Z">More blood. If Purdue can run all over Illinois what is Michigan going to do? At least the Illini proved last week they are better than Rutgers. They can further prove that by actually scoring on Michigan. This will likely be an unmerciful beating. <strong>Michigan 59, Illinois 10</strong></p>
<p id="ExELvz"><strong>Purdue (3-3, 1-2) at Nebraska (6-0, 3-0) 3:30pm, ABC/ESPN2</strong></p>
<p id="ItL76x"><a href="http://www.cornnation.com/2016/10/19/13327234/previewing-the-2016-purdue-boilermakers"><strong>Corn Nation Preview</strong></a></p>
<p id="g67jwy">Last season was dismal except for a gray Halloween afternoon in West Lafayette when Ryker Fyfe had the worst game I have ever seen from a college quarterback. Purdue won 55-45 over the Cornhuskers, but it wasn’t that Shoop had an offensive genius day or anything. The Cornhuskers handed Purdue five turnovers and Purdue took full advantage. Now Purdue heads to Lincoln for only the second time ever and they have an interim coach too. Reportedly, the mood is different and Gerad Parker is going to let it all hang out because we’re a team with nothing to lose. That might help, as will a Nebraska team that has let all three Big Ten opponents hang around. Purdue has also alternated good performances with absolute turd performances this year, and after last week’s terrible first half it is due for a good one. I am not expecting a win, but I think Purdue at least plays inside the 24 point spread. Unfortunately, Nebraska can still run all day. <strong>Nebraska 41, Purdue 24</strong></p>
<p id="tUAcQE"><strong>Michigan State (2-4, 0-3) at Maryland (4-2, 1-2) 7:30pm, BTN</strong></p>
<p id="be6nuX"><a href="http://www.theonlycolors.com/2016/10/20/13326124/michigan-state-football-preview-game-seven-maryland"><strong>The Only Colors Preview</strong></a></p>
<p id="GKoLoj"><a href="http://www.testudotimes.com/maryland-terps-football/2016/10/20/13341644/michigan-state-game-preview"><strong>Testudo Times Preview</strong></a></p>
<p id="tMkqiu">Maryland has not looked good since it beat the bloody crap out of Purdue, while Michigan State has not looked good in any way, shape, or form aside from about three quarters at Notre Dame. What does that mean for this game? Who knows. I don’t think we can trust Michigan State at all these days because they are in complete disarray unlike we have ever seen under Dantonio. I think that means the Terrapins right the ship this week. <strong>Maryland 28, Michigan State 24</strong></p>
<p id="qcSZAz"><strong>Ohio State (6-0, 3-0) at Penn State (4-2, 2-1) 8pm, ABC</strong></p>
<p id="oXTaww"><a href="http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2016/10/19/13302020/ohio-state-penn-state-2016-game-preview-prediction-urban-meyer-buckeyes"><strong>Land-Grant Holyland Preview</strong></a></p>
<p id="T5YF6o"><a href="http://www.blackshoediaries.com/2016/10/20/13325966/penn-state-football-vs-ohio-state-just-the-stats-offense-defense-numbers"><strong>Black Shoe Diaries Preview</strong></a></p>
<p id="QCHzzw">Ohio State has shown exactly zero signs of slowing down after 20 straight road victories. Their last loss in a true road game was at Michigan under Luke Fickell, which was the second road loss in a row because they had lost at Purdue before that. In fact, since the beginning of the 2004 season Ohio State has only lost 11 true road games. Three of them have been at Purdue, the only team to defeat them multiple times in that span. Since they don’t come to Purdue until 2018 and Penn State already beat them in that span (in 2005) they should be good. <strong>Ohio State 34, Penn State 20</strong></p>

<p>This week in college football will feature all Big Ten teams, as well as all 3 of Purdue's out of conference (OOC) opponents. This week's game of the week features Texas A&M at #1 Alabama. Should be a good one.</p>
